Motherless Daughters Community Group

For any daughter who has lost their mother, whether through Death (if it&#039;s been one day ago or 40 years ago) or Abandonment, (i.e.-drug abuse, mental illness, physical or emotional abuse, etc.) and is working through the grief process. This group provides unconditional support and understanding from women who have also lost their Moms and who truly care.

Daughter's Graduation

I leave tomorrow for my daughter's graduation. She is receiving her master's degree in mental health counseling. It will be bitter sweet as granny - my mom, had promised she would make it for this. I am so proud of my daughter and don't want to be sad. I will have to really concentrate on not crying - something I have not been doing, but know that this will make the tears come. I am happy that I will be with both my kids at the same time since Thanksgiving.
I'll be back on Monday. Wishing you all a peaceful weekend. Sharon

congrats to your daughter (=
i&#039;m sure your mom is so proud of them. Instead of concentrating on the fact that she&#039;s not there, concentrate on the fact that your daughter is growing into an amazing woman!! I know it&#039;ll be hard, but you can make it through.
anything you need, i&#039;m here for you&lt;3

Congrats to your daughter...I am sure she will have lots of Grannys (my mom was also granny) to be there and watch her recieve her degree! Can you imagine over 400 moms up there joining together to share in each of their childrens joys in life! Just as we have joined here together I would like to think they have joined up there together! BIG HUGS ~Angela

I too had this situation this past spring. Both my Mother and my Father-in-law passed away within a week of each other. They had both planned on going to my daughters graduation. It was a hard time for all of us. I did take strength from the fact that I knew they were with her in spirit and that they were so proud of her. My Mom often went with us when we visited her at college. She loved the ride (8 hours) and also baked goodies for the other girls and coaches on her basketball team. Don&#039;t feel that you can&#039;t cry. You will feel so proud of your daughter and so sad that your Mom isn&#039;t there. It&#039;s ok to cry. Bring your tissues, camera, and hugs for everyone. Give your daughter congrats from all of us Mom&#039;s here.

Thank you all so much. Thanks Angela, yes, I imagine many Grannys were with Niki on Saturday. It was a great celebration tinged with a very deep sorrow. I am glad to be back home though. At one point my daughter reminded me that she is an adult now! Maybe I should remind her this the next time she calls me frantically over something that I absolutely can not fix four hours away - like a flat tire! So of course, then I made sure I signed her up and paid for AAA! Thanks, Sharon

Sharon, all I can say is hang it in there. You must be so very proud of you daughter. She will be so happy to see your face looking back at her. Be strong for her, even if for just a while. It&#039;s really all you can do. Try to enjoy yourself and your family. We will be here when you get back. Thinking of you always Sharon. Big big hugs.

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

Today is my 25th birthday, to my somewhat lack of surprise I can see already no one really seems to care. I've always been the kinda person to make sure that everyone I Care about feels appreciated and knew somebody had their back. I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...
